A geometric, monoline stencil sans with crisp, squared terminals and consistent stroke thickness. The letterforms are built from simplified, modular shapes with frequent vertical cuts and bridges—most notably through bowls and counters—creating clear stencil breaks while keeping the overall silhouettes legible. Proportions lean slightly condensed with a tall lowercase structure, and curves are tightened into near-circular arcs with flattened joins. The numerals and capitals maintain a strict, engineered rhythm, with open apertures and deliberate gaps that emphasize structure over softness.
This font is well suited to posters, headlines, and short titling where the stencil bridges become a graphic feature. It also fits signage and wayfinding-inspired layouts, packaging, and product labeling that benefit from an industrial or technical voice. In longer text, it will perform best at larger sizes with comfortable tracking so the internal breaks don’t visually close up.
The overall tone feels industrial and functional, evoking signage, labeling, and manufactured marking systems. Its clean stencil interruptions add a utilitarian toughness, while the simplified geometry gives it a modern, technical edge with a subtle retro-instrument feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, modern stencil aesthetic with strong geometric construction and consistent, system-like repetition. By combining simplified sans proportions with prominent internal cuts, it aims to communicate durability and precision while remaining readable in bold, graphic applications.
Stencil breaks are applied consistently across the set, including rounded glyphs like O/Q/0/6/8/9 and key lowercase forms, producing a distinctive striped-counter look in running text. Spacing and shapes read best at display sizes where the bridges and internal cuts remain clear and intentional.
